So Many Good Times

I posted a few of my over 500 pictures (I filled up a 1G card...hard to believe...well maybe not too hard if you've been around me much!) I tried to hit some of the highlights in pictures, but well, there were so many memories, it was just hard to capture it all! I should mention our tradition of Adrian reading a Christmas story during December and our service activity we enjoy doing as a family and our special home evening together. Just so many good times! I guess when we live far apart, we just try to squeeze all the fun, celebration, laughter, love, and memories we can into a couple of weeks together! It was all fun and special, from the games and movies, to watching the kids and grandkids, to walks and talks, to good food, to all the thoughtful gifts and expressions - it was all just great! I am so thankful for a wonderful family! And I'm thankful for blogs, email, cell phones, web cams, texting, IMing, etc, that shorten the miles! And I can't wait for the next time to get this great crowd together!

I agree! When we're apart from each other in our family, we miss each other and appreciate all the things about being together - the little day to day things we do for each other, the simple things like just every day conversations and all, scriptures together, meals, etc. and then all the games and fun activities we get to do together...but we do have lots of ways to stay in touch these days and that's a blessing. And we're all busy with good things, so that's good, too.

Now looking ahead to playing some more cards and games together at Grandma's house and doing lots more fun family things, and just being together!
